“This was the first-time having Beth watch our two dogs. We needed to find a new sitter on short notice, and we chose her because of location and her great reviews. She came to our house to do a meet and greet with us and our dogs. They are both senior dogs and need watchful care. We could tell right away the dogs liked her, as did we. Beth sent pictures and detail notes of each visit to let us know the dogs were in good hands and followed all of our special requests. We would highly recommend Beth to everyone.”

“Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”
